these are american tax dollars being spent its best to spend those tax dollars helping americans in need. here's an example. we can spend $531 million on some become six and 52 million on kenya, 625 million on nigeria or perhaps as much as 2 billion in new castle county and other damaged areas in delaware. we did spend 180 million on indonesia, 142 million in the philippines, 107 million in vietnam, 85 million in the republic of georgia or shift those sums to atlantic city and other places in new jersey. i hope to get the drift. we have people hurt in the united states of america but we also have a future that we have to look at cost. each time we spend money, we do not have, i would submit to the members of the committee that furthers the rest of the insolvency in bankruptcy and if that were to happen, it would debilitate the country so i request your consideration to the amendments i have before you. >> thank you mr. chairman for your work tonight and at the time in reviewing these amendments. i offer today an amendment 73 to the rogers substitute regarding watershed protection funding
